dunno. i thought the 5T'ers were Detroit Lockers [No-Spins]. don't know what the 5T air-lockers look like.

2.5t

no, it functions the same as the ARB. the Norsk design locks one axle shaft onto the differential carrier. if one shaft is locked onto the carrier, then the other shaft is because the spider gears cannot turn the locked shaft. many locker designs actually only lock one side of the differential.

yeah, trans is a wash. engine is likely in the neighborhood of 500lbs lighter. i have only recently finished my guages and now have a functioning (and accurate) odometer. however, since i was never able to get accurate fuel consumption out of the OE setup, i have nothing to compare to...

yeah, i did some researching and it is available for the 2nd gen 24v's as well. i spoke with Fleece; they are planning on creating a controller for 12v and other stand-alone apps. from talking with them, it looks as though all i would need is a MAP sensor and TPS (and maybe rpm?); it gets...

in a truly closed system it doesn't matter until the demand is such that enough vacuum is created to vaporize the fuel. this isn't going to realistically happen with diesel fuel and standard lift pumps. that said, for reliability it is better to push fuel as mentioned above: cracks and...

battery pos to 1st light pos, 1st light neg to 2nd light pos, 2nd light neg to battery neg

yes, wire them in series and hook to 24V power source. only negative is that if you lose one, you lose the other.

thanks, nice article. but that wasn't what i was asking. i was asking about whether or not he was referring to the DL locker operating differently than the other [automatic] lockers offered for the 2.5T. they don't, so i wanted to clarify. good link and addition to this thread, though...

ok, i didn't know if you meant specific to the 2.5T lockers. my Ouverson lockers work exactly like the DL. and from what i've read about the Yukon, it operates the same way.

yes.

what other lockers?

... that plus linkage, air line, speedo cable, and P-brake cable. not insurmountable... but it sure looks like a PITA to me. changing one is a beach; something i hope to never have to do (jinx?). it just looks like the shift, removal, drill (lots of big holes), fit, adjust process would be a...

that's a real good write-up. wheels look nice, too! [thumbzup]

not unless you raised the axle higher than the OE suspension travel allows. but that isn't the issue; raising the intermediate axle would create a longer wheelbase and make for an even larger turning radius - the exact opposite of what the OP intends to accomplish. probably about that far, yes.

don't forget that most rockwell 'upgrade' parts are for trail, mud, and crawling buggies that offroaders use these axles for. what you may call 'extreme offroad use' for a rockwell axle in a 5000 lb buggy may not be as stressful as 'utilitarian puroses' such as hauling 8000 lbs of rock in a...

i believe this would be the best option. this is similar to the concept i suggested in a similar thread about a 5T. i would install two hydraulic cylinders horizontally in the frame rails. install a crossmember in the frame above the rear axle that incorporates a cross-shaft with rollers. the...

how do you figure this? we'd all love to hear your experience with 'grenaded' hubs. if not personal experience, how many hubs have you heard that have been grenaded? you would actually only need one double-splined shaft and hub on the intermediate axle. same discussion this is what i would...

medium duty ZF? what application? how does your clutch hook-up work?
